Diseases of Poultry.

The frequent diseases of poultry are all due to mismanagement. Now starved and then crammed with food housed in noisome, damp, filthy sheds, or not housed at all, confined in coops for month in the same spot, swarm ing with lice, deprived of water or drinking the drainage of the manure piles, fed with insutficiently nutritious food, and when, consequently, troubled with various ailments known as chicken cholera, dosed with alum, copperas, camphor, castor oil, oak-bark tea, srll- phur, cayenne pepper, patent pills, pain killer, condition powders, soot, ashes, soft soap and other "physic," they lie down in despair and die, and they are talked of opprobiously and the farmer kicks the survivors around the barn yard or wrings their necks when they are seeking nests on the haymow or in the managers. Alas, how many good gifts of Nature are spurned by the i'm patient farmer, and the prolific, useful hen, which pays more profit on its cost and keep than any other property, is the worst.abused of all. A good hen well kept will make an income of at least two dollars, and possibly five dol lars per annum, md this is often mora than farmer makes from his invest ment of Sc, 900 in shares in silver and gold mines.

A PIANO GENIUS.
Joseph Hofmann Master, Though
 Only Ten Years Old.

Joseph Hofmann, boy pianist, who is tc give concerts in America under the Snanage ment of Henry E. Abbey, has arrived at New York. Ho was conducted to the Windsor Hotel, where apartments had been secured for him and his party. He was accompanied by his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Casi- mere Hofmann, and his European manager, Charles Woof, of Berlin. Master Hofmann is remarkable child, even in his personal appearance. He is scarcely four feet high, and apparently is about eight years old, although his actual age is 10. His face is round and full like an infants, the color in his cheeks being as delicate as that ill rose leaf. His eyes are bright and black aud beaming with intelligence, his hair dark and short and worn as it chooses to lay, his nose short and slightly retrousse, and his little figure straight, muscular, and athletic. All in all, he is per sonage most piquant and pleasing. His man. ner is modest, though thoroughly self-pos- sessed, and he seems wholly unconscious of his prominence in the musical world. When he was introduced to a reporter he bent his small body in most Chesterfieldian salutation, and then cordially extended his hand. The grip that accompanied the hand-shaking was won- derful.
 Master Hofmann has played before the Enl- pcror of Germany and tho Crown Prince, and has also charmed the Prince of Wales at Buckingham Palace. When he landed here his first inquiry was after the health and well fare of Mime. Modjeska, whom he knows and ardently admires both on account of her graces and because she is a countrywoman. He was born in Krakow, as was his father, who is & conductor of some note in that city. The child comes naturally by his talent for music, for his mother was singer. Casi- mere Hofmann says that the boy first disclosed his wonderful abilities when about four years ofage. Since that time his progress has been marvellous. His favorite amusement, aside from playing the piano, is riding bicycle, hv,} 1,yS hi foft, init him to indulge this taste for fear that he might iniuro himself.

A New Guest.

A new and distinguished guest at the London Geological Gardens is male gorilla answering to the name of "Mum- bo.' He has recently arrived from the Gaboon, and his present demeanor in dlcatcs disgust with his new surround ings. He is luxuriously bestowed in Q separate compartment, carpeted with fresh straw, while bananas, oranges and basins of sugared arrowroot are placed in bountiful supplies at the door of his small bedroom or travelling cage, where his time is chiefly spent But all over- lures on the part of his keepers or visit ors are thus far received with indiffer- ence, not to say disgust. Mumbo is sadly out of spirits, and really ill., crouching in his cage, twitching his black legs, and occasionally moved by a short, sharp cough. How far his de- jection is due to homesickness and how much to actual disease incident to change of climate is problem yet to be solved. Everything possible is be- ing done to beguile the gorilla stranger and comfort him in his really pitiful condition, but thus far all efforts seem futile. The sprightly Sally, the pet chimpanzee of the Gardens, fails to d. lure him to any demonstration of pleas ure or kinship, and small Indian mon key introduced into the cage elicits no overtures to further acquaintance. Gloomy and peculiar he is, hairy heap, now and then yawning wearily. Still, the keeper reports his condition as slightly improved within the past few days, which warrants the hope that this gorilla (tho second ever brought to London alive) may yet serve the cause of science by Q vigorous development in its new quarters.

"Chin.Chin Buddlla,"

In Anam the French conquerors have found one custom which they have, in some measure, fallen in with, since it is so universal among tho people that it is almost impossible to get along with them without some use of it. It is the custom of 'Chin-Chia Buddha," or homage to Buddha, which tho Anamites repeat in thousand forms.
 Hanging upon the walls of their rooms, the French have panels of silk ornamented with inscriptions which are at once pious and dccorative-pio from the Anamite's point of view, and decorative from tho Frenchmans. These panels are "Chin- Chin Buddhas. :"
 The term "Chin- Chin Buddha'' means ''Hail, Buddhar but it has como to be applied not only to every sort of re- ligious homage, but to personal homage and pollteness as well. All prayers, obeisances, offerings, acts of ceremonial difference, and even of ordinary personal politeness, are accompanied with the utterance of this phrase, "Chin- Chin Buddha;" and objects which are to be sacrificed, as we'll as decorative objects bearing pious inscriptions, bear the same name
 When French lady, the wife of q commander, sailed up the Red river to the town of Hanoi, all the children of the town camc crowding to the shore, making salutes, clapping their hands and shouting, "Chin- Chin Buddha."
 The beggars in the streets utter plaintive cries of "Chin- Chin Buddha' as they follow the ser-by, always speaking the last name very reverently.
 The French in Annam have fallen into the use of the term and even use it in their own relations. There is certainly no formal expression in any European language which has anything like so wide use. .s--....... ..

Mir. Hendricks Found Dead.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 25.-At 10 o'clock tonight the Hon. A. W. Hendricks was found dead in bed by his wife. He had been con- fined to the house several days by general de- bility, but was not supposed to be in dan Gerous condition. He was able to be out for time on Wednesday. Tonight the family had just left him to retire, 1le occupying room on the first floor, when they were startled by rumbling of an unusual nature. Mrs. Hendricks hastcned to the room of her hus- band, but 1t was too late; life had already fled. Heart disease issupposcd to havo been the cause. MT. Hendricks was born in Pennsylvania, and came to Indiana when boy with his pa- rents, settling in Madison. He began the practice of law there, which was interrupted by his term of service in the army as Paymas- ter. He was member of the Examining Board of Pnymastcrs of which Major Febiger was chief. After the war he came to Indian apolis, and with his cousin, the late Vice-Pres- dent established the law firm of Hendricks, Hord X Hendricks, of which Mir. Hord only remains, In his prime he was recognized as one of tho ablest lawyers Indiana has produced He was about 63 years of age. It is singular coincidence that his death was exactly like that of his cousin, Thomas A. Hendricks, who was found dead in his bed by his wife tho day before Thanksgiving, 1885, exactly two years ago to-day.

THE DYNAMOGRAPH.
A Formidable Rival of the Tele-
 phone Described.
Wonderful Things it is Expect
 ed,to Accomplish.

A Washington communication to the Baltimore Sun says: There is consider able talk in the Patent Office just now concerning an invention patented re- gently, which, in tho opinion of some, will be formidable rival of the tele- phone. The invention is an electric typewriter. The instrument in ap- pearance somewhat resembles an ordinary mechanical typewriter. It has a keyboard, and the types are placed on steel bars, which play upon common centre, as is the case with the typewriter. The motive power used is electricity, by means of which evenne;ss of action is insured. No matter how heavily or how lightly the keys are struck the impression on the paper is the same. A remarkable feature of the in vention' used as typewriter is that the carraige moves automatically both for ward andS backward. When the end of the line is reached the carriage returns to the starting point without the aid of the operator, and the paper bar moves one notch, so that all that is required of the operator is to depress the keys.
 The most important field for the new invention is said to be in connection with the telegraph. It is said at the patent office that the instrument can be used both as transmittcr and receiver of intelligence over a single wire, no matter how great the distance may be. The receiving instrument does not re- quire the attendance of an operator, but prints the dispatch automatically. The instruments at both ends of tho line print the dispatch sent, and so safe guard against mistakes is provided.
 It it claimed that the electric type- writer will be valuable as local aid to business, and offers many advantages over tho telephone. One advantage claimed for it is that no matter whether a person called up is at his place of business or not, the message can be pIluIcu ClfOhSu tue mculum Ol HIS typewriter, and will be there for his pcrusal on his return. The dispatches arc printed in letter form, and not an endless tape. The instrument, which has been christened the dynamograph h, is considercd,by Patent Office officials to be one of the greatest inventions upon which patents have been issued. The electricians do not stint their praise, and are positive that the machine will greatly simplify business intcrcommuni- cation. Some of the electricians of this city who have seen the instrument, notably Professor Berlinger of the Bell Telephone company, statc that the dyna- mograph is destined to take it's place as powerful adjunct to telegraphy, and will be by no means rival that the tele- phone can afford to scocn. John Russell Young, ex-minister to China, has taken hold of the new invention, and is presi- dent of the company which is to put it in practical operation.

AN EDITOR IN JAIL.
Attacked by Mob of French Cana
 dians in Montreal.

A great sensation was caused in Montreal by l. E. Sheppard, of the Toronto Ne,cs, coming down and giving himself up to the sheriff Sheppard has been waging news paper war against the French Canadians of the Province of Quebec for several years. When, during the Northwest troubles, the Sixty-fifth Battalion French Canadian regi- ment of Montreal was ordered to the front, Sheppard attacked them ferociously in his paper, calling them thieves and scoundre.s. A bitter feeling was created, and the officers of the regiment determined on revenge. Many attempts have been made to bring him to Montreal, but the English people of the Province of Ontario stood by him, and race war has almost been engendered by the trou- ble. Sheppard was put to enormous expense, and finally decided, to end the matter, to come to Montreal and give himself up. Great ex- citement was created, and it was feared that there would be trouble. Sheppard was attacked by an angry mob, and had to pull revolver to defend himself. Finally he got safely to the court house and placed himself under the charge of the sheriff. He was afterward allowed to go to his hotel.
 The officers of the Sixty-fifth Regiment say that, since Sheppard is in their clutches, he will be made to sweat for his comments on the French-C Canadian race. He will have to pay all the legal costs of the case, amounting to several thousand dollars, and publish full apology, or else he will rot in jail Sheppard is native American. and has lived in Buffalo and other places in the States He has been in Canada several years, and is likely to re- member his soiourn here.
